"For most of the nineteenth century the Irish formed the largest non-French ethnic group in central Canada. Donald Akenson analyses the process of their settlement in an eastern Ontario township and dispels some of the myths about the Irish as urban dwellers.
He suggests that by using Ontario as a "historical laboratory" it is possible to make valid assessments of the real differences between Irish Protestants and Irish Catholics, characteristics that are much more precisely measurable in the neutral environment of central Canada than in the turbulent Irish homeland."--BOOK JACKET.
